Premiering on September 16 at 8 pm on 90.3 WCPN and WVIZ/PBS, “A Quiet 
Crisis – The Road Back: Leveraging Lake Erie,” was partially filmed onboard 
the Steamship William G. Mather Museum at Cleveland’s North Coast Harbor.  
In the midst of planning major museum upgrades and improvements, the Mather 
makes a great setting on this program about the future of Northeast Ohio’s 
greatest natural resource.

“How can we better leverage Lake Erie – not just to improve the quality of 
life in our region but to create jobs? Stimulate commerce? Attract new 
people and business? Some ideas on the next A Quiet Crisis – The Road Back.” 
(source: www.wviz.org)

Plain Dealer Associate Editor Joe Frolik conducts interviews with four 
people who have different but significant perspectives on how to better use 
Lake Erie to stimulate our regional economy.  Hosted by ideastream’s Rick 
Jackson, two of the segments were filmed onboard two ends of the Mather 
Museum.  As the ship is over two-football fields long, you can definitely 
see two different but significant perspectives of Lake Erie.

Visit www.wcpn.org/qc for more information and rebroadcast schedule.  For 
Mather Museum information, go to www.wgmather.org or come aboard for a tour 
weekends through October 31.
